Pollock, basic art series
by Leonhard Emmerling
American Jackson Pollock came to fame late in his career but transformed the art forever in the post-war United States. Married to fellow artist Lee Krasner, Pollock's action paintings created Abstract Expressionism and channeled raw energy, turbulent emotions and the rebellion of the postwar world: he transformed the canvas into a stage of raw movement and immediacy. Drawing from influences like Picasso and Mexican surrealism, he rejected tradition to forge an entirely personal visual language.
Both celebrated and troubled, he lived a turbulent life marked by reclusion, alcoholism, and his marriage to fellow painter Lee Krasner, before his untimely death at 44. This introduction traces Pollock’s explosive creativity and lasting impact, revealing the artist as both modernist pioneer and enduring cultural icon.
Taschen’s Basic Art series offers accessible, always beautifully illustrated introductions to key artists, movements, and architects, combining concise texts with rich visuals, perfect art history summaries.
